In and Out fries are disgusting... limp and greasy. I know they think they are cool doing the whole fresh fries thing, but anyone who knows anything about fries knows they are better parfried, then frozen, then fried. I will go to an In and Out for a burger, then head somewhere else for fries.

I almost never eat fries, so I can't comment on that one..they just take up valuable meat space.

Double-Double Animal Style is glorious...for a $4 fast food burger. I mean you're not going to like a Red Robin or something where you're sitting down and getting a gourmet-style burger. The only thing that would make In'N'Out better is if they added bacon as an option.

Their tortillas have been getting smaller and smaller. I remember a few years back the tortillas were the size of my plate and came in 6-7 in a baggie. Through the years they got smaller. Now my ing fork is bigger than them. And guess what?!?! ONLY TWO IN A BAG tonight. BARGGGH! I want more than a single bean and rice in a burrito. *sniffle*

/end rant. Just wanted to share that with you.

That and their $1 menu is now a $1.25 menu. Though two Churros for a buck-fifty. MMMM....Churro

If they had bacon I'd already have a bypass.

All this talk about this type of food is making me look at the calories in the meals I would get at each place. The famous star w/ cheese and med. fries (a #1) a Jr has about 1900 calories in it.

I love Chilies, the boneless buffalo wings and a bacon burger every time. That's about 2000 calories total right there without the fries. I don't even drink soda anymore, but saving the 200 calories isn't helping much when I'm downing almost a days worth of calories in a single meal.

Hey guys, I know most of you will say that you would prefer to pay a bit more and have the same amount of food. But these big guys don't just blindly make these decisions. A lot of market research goes into it, and as a whole, Americans notice a size change less than they will notice a price change. It's not just at fast food restaurants. Cereal boxes are shrinking, sour cream containers hold less... even ice cream. Lots of premium ice creams are not half gallons anymore... they are now 1.5 pints.

The raw cost of food has skyrocketed. These companies aren't going to give the food away, so they will find ways to still give you most of what you want while still turning enough profit to stay in business. With cost of goods going up more than 40% in the past year or two, they are fighting just to stay alive.

I must disagree my hookers ho seems to get bigger with every visit and she is maintaing the same price.
